    .204Ruger projectile advice saught

    Thank you for responding, Guys. Much appreciated. I found some 40grn Bergers I'm going to try. I also checked the ACTUAL twist on my barrel, not just what the factory says. It is (as accurately as I can measure) 1:12 1/4, so that may be the issue. Just have to wait until Sierra runs a line of...

    .204Ruger projectile advice saught

    Hi everyone, I'm after a bit of help and advice... Shortages of certain (make that most) projectiles in UK means that I am unable to source 39grn Sierra Blitzkings for my .204Ruger. Fortunately I have a metric shit-ton of 40grn .20cal Hornady V-max. Unfortunately I cannot get them to shoot out...

    .243 for PRS type comps

    Yeah, Rob and he SPECIFICALLY wants factory ammo until he gets his reloading bench set up. I thought 105ish ELD-X might work well for him. Doubt he'll find much in the way of match ammo, but you might know better. (Also, I think budget comes into it a little, he was shocked at the price if CC...

    .243 for PRS type comps

    Sounds like a good set-up for PRS. With that twist I think that you are best trying to source a load with the Berger 105grn Hybrid. Why not look at one of the custom reloading outfits? If it's just for a few months it might be cost effective? Custom Reloads of Dallas is one that I am familiar...

    Building the Perfect Reloading Room

    So many people here with MAD skills!! I'm so jealous. Thanks for sharing, everyone. You have all given me some ideas to work with for when I finally get around to creating my own reloading 'space'. It won't be a room. Lost my reloading room when the second kiddo came along. Mind you, that was...

    Nice set-up! What is the action on the bolt gun? I can't quite make it out...

    224 Valkyrie now shipping!

    .22-250AI reduces body taper and increases shoulder angle. ?? Creedmoor cases are pretty much .22-250AI cases necked up to 6 or 6.5mm. Duh...

    224 Valkyrie now shipping!

    Thanks for the reply. Yeah, anything beyond 5 rounds is the problem, as you say. Currently using .308 mags as you suggest. It was just a thought. You know, looking for a better mousetrap... I'm assuming that when he shoots the barrel out, and I rebarrel with .22-250AI, the problem goes away, and...

    224 Valkyrie now shipping!

    Silly question, but would these mags work with .22-250? Running .22-250 in AICS 5 round mags in my Howa 1500 for my little guy (12). For some of the comps he shoots, a higher round capacity would really help. If we try to run a 10 round mag, we get feeding issues. Alternatively, anyone know of...

    WOW! Thank you for your really helpful input.

    It's a pity, because the bc is excellent, better than the 143grn ELD, but I can't use them if they're not going to be accurate!

    Nosler RDF...

    Yeah, read what I said above. I KNOW how to develope a load. What I didn't have was TIME. I was looking for a very specific short cut. Didn't work. Don't like these RDF's. So... Instead of using my custom .260Rem at 1000yds tomorrow, I will be using my trusty .308 with 175 SMK's. Back to ELD's...
